Chapter 130: Abner Was Caught
Trier, Southwest District.
On Conner Street at night, the gas street lights illuminate the flat road, and the crimson moon hangs high.
A three-person "Machine Heart" team used their agility to cover each other and quietly climbed over the wall of Representative Alice Kemp's house.
They walked quickly through the garden, came to the side of the house, and climbed up to the balcony on the second floor in cooperation with each other.
"Captain, there doesn't seem to be anyone..." Pierre, a bearded man in the three-person group, said softly after using a tarot card to open the window latch.
"This is very abnormal. Even if Ms. Kemp goes out for something, her servants should be there too!" The captain with short brown hair frowned.
According to information provided by nearby informants, Russell visited Congressman Kemp this morning for unknown purposes and left in the afternoon.
The "Mechanical Heart" team that had been following Russell wanted to take advantage of the night to investigate to see if there were any new clues.
And Alice Camp is a member of Congress and the apparent identity of "ancient scholar" Daphne... Of course, the "Machine Heart" team does not know this latter point.
"Is something going wrong? I remember the informant said that after Russell left, he never saw the servants of the Kemp family leaving the house..." Ms. "Wizard", the only woman in the three-person team, said solemnly said.
Hearing this, although the young short-haired captain did not reply, the action of loading the bullet made the other two team members raise their vigilance to the highest level.
However, when the three of them sneaked into Congressman Kemp's house, they did not find any bloody and cruel scenes. The whole house was empty, but there was half-drunk coffee in the living room, books opened in the living room, and a lot of food in the kitchen. Potatoes that were not cooked in the pot... These signs all indicate that the person in the house suddenly disappeared.
"Russell killed them and disposed of the bodies?" After the three people who had searched around the house were reunited, Pierre, a bearded man, first expressed his guess.
"You mean Senator Kemp offended him, or he had some important evidence, so Russell came to kill him and silence him?" Ms. "Wizard" asked thoughtfully.
"The latter is more likely, but it doesn't look like a long-planned action on his part. It's more likely to be a spur-of-the-moment move! If it was really premeditated, Russell would not have been seen coming to Congressman Kemp's house." Beard Pierre analyzed.
The captain's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he clapped his hands and said: "In other words, there is a high probability that he discovered the secret hidden by Ms. Kemp only after he got here, so he acted in a hurry, and he might have missed some clues!"
Having said this, the captain looked at Miss Wizard and said, "Lisa, try to divine whether there is a dark room here."
If Congressman Kemp left any evidence, it must have been well hidden, and the "devil" is not good at divination.
Ms. "Wizard" nodded, took out the silver chain, held it in her hand, let the pendulum hang down, and entered a meditative state.
Her eyes darkened and she whispered to herself:
"This house has a secret room or hidden compartment."
"This house has a secret room or hidden compartment."
…
After seven times, the color of "Wizard" Lisa's eyes returned to normal. She looked at the citrine pendant and saw it rotating clockwise.
This means yes!
Seeing such a result, the three of them naturally started searching again, and soon found a small darkroom in the living room with the help of "divination".
The darkroom contained nothing but a small bookshelf with a stack of papers on it.
The captain carefully picked up the document and glanced at it briefly before he was stunned. He only felt that the blood all over his body rushed straight to his brain, making his body shake.
"If the content in the document is true... then the consequences..." After flipping through a few more pages, the captain took a deep breath and calmed down.
No wonder Russell wanted to kill someone and silence him. It turned out that Ms. Kemp had such evidence!
Now, the most important task is to send this document back to the church... No, it is best to send it to an archbishop or senior deacon.
But as soon as he thought of this, he felt as if his "heart" was being held by someone. At the same time, his spiritual intuition gave a crazy warning, making him freeze in place, not daring to act rashly.
His two teammates were in a similar state to him, and both seemed to have lost their ability to move.
At this time, a man with neatly combed hair walked out of the shadows, elegantly took the stack of documents from the captain, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much for helping me find these things... As expected, professional Things have to be done by professionals.”
"Russell!" The three "Mechanical Heart" members gritted their teeth and read out the name at the same time.
"It's rare for three of you to know my name, so I will try to make your death as painless as possible, just like the owner of this place, Ms. Camp." Russell smiled and said the terrible sentence.
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and made a fist gesture.
At the critical moment, mysterious patterns composed of many symbols suddenly flashed under the feet of the three "Heart of Machinery" members, and the next moment, their figures appeared on the street outside the house's courtyard wall.
This is the effect of the sealed artifact "2-113" they carried.
It is a flag-like object. As long as it is inserted in a certain position in advance, the person who touches it will return to it half an hour later. Maximum three people, maximum distance 100 meters.
For the sake of safety, the three members of the "Mechanical Heart" planted their flags in the nearby alley before exploring the house, which happened to save their lives.
"Run separately! We must bring Russell and the Prime Minister's conspiracy back to the church!" The captain ordered the two team members as soon as he got out of the state where his heart was controlled.
Then, the three of them headed in three directions in tacit agreement.
Bearded Pierre is an "appraiser". Although the magic potion can increase his physical strength, it is ultimately limited. His speed is the slowest among the three.
So after just running across a street, he was blocked by a three-meter-tall "demon" that smelled of sulfur and had bat-like fleshy wings on its back.
Although Pierre was full of despair, as a "mechanical heart", he bravely raised the revolver in his hand, preparing to fight with him and die gloriously.
But at this moment, a solemn voice came from mid-air: "The mystery of this place is weakened, and the reality is strengthened!"
As the words fell, the three-meter-tall monster's entire body became illusive and seemed to be about to disintegrate.
It looked at the person "deeply", then turned around and flew away without hesitation.
The gentleman who made the noise seemed not to let it go, and also used magical items to chase after it.
Pierre tried to raise his head and vaguely saw a young figure wearing a top hat and formal clothes.
While he was in a daze, he suddenly heard someone calling his name. When he looked back, it was the captain and Miss "Wizard" chasing after him.
"What are you doing?" Pierre was still a little confused, thinking that he might be dreaming.
"It was the 'professor' who happened to pass by and saved us," the wizard lady said quickly.
"'Professor'? Is that the young gentleman?" Pierre finally regained his composure and asked casually.
"Yes, he calls himself 'Professor' and may be Russell's enemy... But now is not the time to talk. We have to go to the nearest church to request support." The captain quickly issued an order.
"Yes, Captain!"
…
In a house not far away, Daphne, who had released the "historical projection", smiled and said to Abner in front of her: "Master Angel, how did I perform?"
For the sake of this drama, she even gave up her official identity as a congressman.
"Not bad." Abner was not a stingy person. He was about to praise him a few more times, but his spirituality was suddenly touched. He turned his head suddenly, and then he saw a tall and handsome man with long chestnut hair. The young man appeared outside the balcony on the second floor at some unknown time.
Although he had never seen it, the name appeared in Abner's mind the moment he saw the whole young man:
"Bonova Gustave."
